Take a Look
This is what comes of it, living abroad
you become used to programmes
talking about what it's like to shop
somewhere & the upkeep of capitalism
that very much has downsides
just as back home, communism had.
And now your prime minister is cutting
aid to the sick, disabled & the poor
& is almost shouting
' Arbeit macht frei'
from the Westminster rooftops
& calling in psychiatrists
to label those unwilling
to work as 'mentally ill'
e.gΒ Β one step from ' undesirable',
which is, ironically, a similar thing
to what they did back home
while an aged Lord takes drugs
with prostitutes & an MP
claims hundreds of thousands in expenses
'Arbeit mach frei' ( germ) - a **** slogan, roughly translates as ' Work gives freedom'.
